I've been learning to mix my own colours. I used to shy away from that, especially as every colour imaginable is readily available in tubes, but that can get expensive and I don't need to create more clutter. Also, some colours you can only get by mixing: for example black on its own is flat, but mix it with ultramarine blue and you get a soft, complex black.
This is my latest painting. Water and rocks. Acrylic on paper, 9x12 inches.

When I was a full-time painter, I painted at night. It worked for me. With the pandemic and staying at home, I rediscovered my nightly painting.

My 7-year-old grand-niece has discovered the joy of art. She's informed me that she's drawing things based on my art (which is plentiful in her house).
I sent her a painting of a pear, and she made this. I'm impressed with the shape and the "shading".
She's also trying her hand at collage that I'm more than happy to encourage. She has a good sense of composition and colour.

I'm still here and working.
Altering Victorian cabinet cards.
Doing some collage work.
Painting a landscape in France (after Derain). The landscape is in France, not me - alas!
Stitching together a birdie; since I took the photo I added tiny white buttons for its eyes.
